Girardi also went to each concession stand and had a black cloth draped over all the choking posters. And he had the line "if they don't win, it's a shame" removed from the 7th inning stretch so it wouldn't play havoc with anyone's confidence.

I think its a nice gesture but it makes you wonder how much attention GIrardi is paying to the play by play of the game. Or do they have bench coaches just for that reason? I just assumed Girardi was more of a tactical manager being an ex catcher and all, but this might suggest that his job is more about personnel manager...I dunno.

It's a shame the beat writers haven't made a bigger deal of the director of mental conditioning and his role on the team. If there's a person in the organization who clearly helped less (I mean during the postseason almost every Yankee hitter's mind was the mental equivalent of a Biggest Loser contestant's sagging boobies), then I don't know who it is. The NY Post should be running front and back page stories calling for Bohling's firing. This is total horsehit.
